QWhere are camp classes held?

AFor grades 1-12, classes are held at Saint Louis University High School, located just east of the Science Center. Our PreK-K campers, however, will remain in a classroom at the Science Center. All camps, however, pick-up and drop-off at the circle drive of the Science Center.

QWhy are classes not held at the Science Center? I want my child to experience the museum.

AEvery camp session does include time in the museum. We make sure to build a museum experience into each camp curriculum. Unfortunately, the Science Center has limited classroom space. Holding our structured class time at SLUH and including "fieldtrips" to the museum allows for a more consistent and constructive learning environment.

QAre lunches available for purchase?

ALunches are not available for purchase. All campers must bring a sack lunch each day. Please mark your child's name clearly on his/herlunch bag.
